That's unfortunate. You guys should at least check out SPX for one day as guests, if you've never been. Me and my fiancee did a half table last year and had an absolute blast. Easily my most favorite convention I've been to. Doing a full table this year (half table is wayyyyy too cramped and they only give you one chair, like you're not gonna have someone with you.) and premiering the first book for the comic we do together. Long story short, I met her through her webcomic, we're in luvvvvvvvv, we started a series together, we decided to do an offline only spinoff series with the two characters going on weird mystery adventures.

That aside, it's the only convention I can honestly say we bought a LOT of original comics at. Other cons, it's like 10% comics, of which only 1% are good, and 90% vendors. This is 100% comics and 85% were fucking AWESOME!

JUST noticing Dan's expression in the last page and continuing his frustrations into this page. "Day 1" for Dan and he's already learning this is less of a mission and more of a junior high field trip.

Well, we'd like to do the cons, but they're expensive to go to, and unfortunately, Black Moth Design doesn't have a lot of cash, really. The money we're getting from the book 2 kickstarter will probably go toward bills, loans, and customer service issues.

I suppose it's not a huge spoiler, but, the secret $100K stretch goal was a 2014 con tour. Our kickstarter is doing well, but I don't know that it'll make that at this point, so it probably doesn't hurt to say.

Thing is, we can't know in advance whether or not we'll make our money back from any given con, so we can't really go unless we can afford to lose everything we spend on it. And right now, we can't afford that.

Aaaaaaaaaannnyway. At least the kickstarter is doing well! We've only got two redshirts left, which is pretty badass.

Hopefully I don't get shot for noticing a small detail. Charlie's missing the grunge on his coat hem and pant cuffs in panel 3 that he has in panel 1. It caught my attention as a neat little detail in panel 1, so I noticed the absence after.
